I constantly look for good reading material for my nieces (wholesome AND entertaining). The first four installments of the Cooper kids series is all that and more. They also contain solid Biblical references and a special bonus for people looking for life's answers. Peretti hit it just right with this series, and they're not just for kids!

I am a 56-year old grandmother and found this "youth fiction" as riviting and exciting a read as any of the Peretti adult fiction I have read. Spiritual warfare at its most dangerous, with an adolescent brother and sister as the protagonists. I read each of the four books, and wanted more!

After reading the door in the dragons throat,I was thrilled!I want to read all the others.It's just like Indiana Jones to me.Since Indiana Jones are my favorite movies this is really cool.I recommend this series to everyone!

Im still wondering how many are in the entire series! It may sound weird to some ppl, but I'm 26 and Im way into Mystery and Adventure - mainly teen age group books. Mostly Nancy Drew's and Peretti's books! This is an awesome series and would recommend it to anyone who has an open heart to be a kid again or just to plainly enjoy a great adventure!

Me & my sister have read this book thousands of times! I think it is one of the best books I've ever read!
It is very adventureus, it really made you get into the story.
I would recomend it to NOT be read at night but that's just me.
All of the Cooper Kids series are good! Your going to have a BLAST!!

My daughter loves adventure and mystery. When she started reading these books, she continued until she finished all four. This is definately one of her favorite series.

These are the best books that I have ever read! I love them!

I would definitely say that this is the best book in the entire Cooper Kids series, and perhaps even Peretti's entire series. Frank Peretti somehow mixes edge-of-your-seat, Indiana Jones-style adventure and a Christian message, without too much of either. A great read for teenagers or children.

My son is 12 and loves reading. I find it hard to keep up with finding suitable fiction for him. He enjoyed Frank Peretti's Cooper kids series tremendously. I bought secondhand and the books arrived in a good condition.

The first four books in Frank Peretti's "Cooper Kids" series. We were given the set by a friend and were extremely thankful as we have also recently purchased the next 3 books in the series. Whether battling demonic forces, OT-inspired giants, a band of cultists, or communist forces, the action is always intense with some of that "Indiana Jones" feel. I felt that the fourth book was easily the best written with a much stronger Christian message, while the first book is somewhat light on meaty dialogue and character progression - something you'd expect from an introductory book in a long series. One note, the third book - The Tomb Of Anak - is not really appropriate for younger kids as we felt that the action surrounding the central "Goliath" villain was somewhat scary at times.

Throughout the books, Peretti treats the devout Christian lives of the Coopers as just another normal part of the story and, contrary to some Christian books, movies, or audio tapes that I've had, this aspect of their lives does not seem false or forced into the storyline in order to turn out a "Christian" product - when the Coopers stop to pray before making a tough decision it is an appropriate action that only helps to further the action. Reading some of the reviews for this set or the individual books in the series, I think it's pretty funny when some obviously atheist parent tags the book as a "stealth Christian product" when anyone who knows Peretti's works or spends more than 5 min reading the book realizes it isn't a stealth Christian book - it's an OVERT Christian book and proud of it.

Just as all the Cooper Kids books, the real message throughout the story is not the fantastic locales/enemies or gripping action and story telling, but the Christian values (faith, love, and perserverence immediately leap to mind) of the central characters. Always wonderful stories to be either read alone by your "tween" child (my 8 yr old could easly read the book alone), out loud at night as a bedtime story, or as part of a Bible curriculum for homeschoolers.
